Architecture is never devoid of multiple dimensions. According to me it is an amalgamation of international poli-cies, economic strategies, social attributes, local site context and multiple other parameters. Hence every project that is part of this portfolio follows an intense research oriented de-sign process across all scales.
My strength lies in understanding this complex mesh and un-entangling the core issue that needs to be addressed by the architecture. Different documentation process like map-ping, matrixes, timelines, etc. have been used to streamline all the learning’s of the analysis to derive to an architectural concept and program organizational diagrams for all the scales from urban interventions to micro building detail.
This portfolio will walk you through all my potentials of strategic planning, organizational design tactics, design for multiple scales, hybrid buildings, visualization skills etc. I am sure that the next few minutes invested on the portfolio will be worthwhile.

COMMERCIAL BUS STOP
TRANSPORT HUB_ A point of exchAnge Ciudad Juarez, MexiCo
The MSc. graduation project dealt with understanding the implications of Neo liberal policies on the city of Juarez which lies on the US - Mexico border. In 2009 Ciudad Juarez was rated as “the most violent zone in the world outside of declared war zones” due to high crime rates, femis-ides, homicides, corruption, drug trafficking and multiple other problems. The city is also presently facing massive exodus and the abandoning of large portions of its housing stock due to the increase in violence and a prevailing low intensity war between the state and the drug cartels.
The reasons for this asymmetrical development are multiple and point towards a complex mesh of forces that transgress the scope of the built environment. They encompass entangled dimensions of political economy and socio-economic developments, which eventually affect the built environment.
With this background a six month intense research was carried out and a counter proposal group strategy was proposed on a prototype site Riberas Del bravo and eventually an Urban & architectural intervention was designed. Thus as part of my graduation project I designed a col-lective transport system comprising of three design elements the Transferium hub, the bus stops and the routes on the prototype site.

CIUDAD JUAREZ INFRASTRUCTURE MAP This map illustrates the infrastructure connectivity and mobility of Juárez. The airway and railway network enable international and national transport. A fixed system for internal public transport (i.e. tram or metro) is lacking, making the city heavily dependent on its road network for transport within the city. The city centre has dense network of primary and secondary roads, but the new peripheral residential developments are sparsely connected with the City centre due to lack of infrastructure development.
CIUDAD JUAREZ MOBILITY SUMMARY MAP The peripheral social housing developments are between 13 and 21 km from the central bus sta-tion and the city center. Despite this sprawl there is very little public transport and the existing public transport does not connect to the urban facilities that it is expected to. The transport system becomes defined in two zones in the center and the periphery but remains sparse in between. The north-south layout of the highways and the lack of east-west connection emphasizes the traffic flow between US and Mexico. Thus one of the contradictory dialectics that appears is the mobility of goods versus the stagnancy of people.

The City of Juarez is composed of multiple
isolated nodes lacking political centers, eco-
nomic stability, infrastructure, services and
is very sparsely connected with each other
and the center. Thus the city of Juarez de-
picts a polycentric model but a false one as
none of these nodes are independent and
self-sufficient. In this false polycentric model
one of the nodes, namely Riberas del Bravo
was chosen as the prototype site and a pro-
posal was designed to address the issues
and create ripples and influence the other
nodes in the city.
PHASE 1 Phase 1 remedies focused on enhancing and using the exsisting infrastructure more efficiently for the redevelopment of the site.
Phase 2 proposes formation of coperatives and development of new local organiza-tions to generate and strengthen the local community economy, internal connectiv-ity and markets.
Phase 3 proposes formalization of the orga-nization and representation of issues at the government level and focus on enhanc-ing connectivity with the city, metropolitan and Nation.
PHASE 2 PHASE 3
The strategic plan for Riberas del Bravo dealt
with densifying the two ends and de-densi-
fying the center to allow Urban agriculture.
The central spine which is a sewage chan-
nel at present is redesigned as public prom-
enade that connects all the different sectors
of the residential development. All along this
promenade nine different sites were chosen
for urban and architectural intervention

DESIGN ELEMENT 1II DESIGN OF THE TRANSFERIUM, RIBERAS DEL BRAVO
PLAN OF THE TRANSFERIUM
The core design idea dealt with developing a time based con-
cept, that allowed hybridization of the programme and hence
catered to both peak and anti-peak hour differently. Firstly a
strong east west axis was developed to regulate and accentu-
ate the flow of people along the canal & public promenade
proposed as part of the group strategy. These east west axis
were flanged by three pavilions serving the Transferium and
Community center on the two edges and a multipurpose mar-
ket space at the center. The central multipurpose market space
manifested itself further as Hawking zone, courtyard, Mobile
Market courtyard and Permanent Market. During the peak hour
the Transferium expanded into the central multipurpose space
and during the anti-peak hour the community market/activities
expanded into the multipurpose space. Thus depending on
the flow of vehicles the central multipurpose space grew or
condensed in size catering to different activities.

The project dealt with designing a hybrid building for University van Amsterdam to provide an interaction hub for the students, staff and the citizens. The project aimed to reassert the relationship between city and university. The extremely complex and hybrid program aimed to provide 5000 square meters of Conference Hub and University Lecture Hall combined with a 2000 square meters 2-stars hotel and a 1000 sq.m refectory/low budget restaurant and cafeteria.
The design is a collection of multiple courtyards acting as the congregation point, strategically placed to accentuate student interaction along with cultural activities and caters to different users. The courtyards are also differentiated on the degree of privacy they offer. It also pro-vides platform for catering different UVA campus activities and public programmes. The design unravels itself as a green terrain to generate a landmark image for the building and thus attract the citizens to become part of the UVA campus.

ReJUVenAting elleWoUtSDiJK foRtBorsele, the NetherlaNds
The project was part of RMIT (Restoration, Modification Intervention & Transformation) studio and dealt with the rejuvenation of the historical landmark Ellewoutsdijk fort. The Borsele municipality had recently restored the fort building and was looking forward for proposals to rejuvenate the fort which lies in a very strategic location with close proximity to the international connection, Westerschelde tunnel. The Municipality of Borsele, Residents of Ellewoutsdijk and Natuurmonument had different vested interests in rejuvenate the fort like promote the tourism, escalate the state revenue, preserving the history and promoting the nature tourism prevalent in Zeeland. My project was unique, as I believed that the fort was complete by itself hence dint build anything inside the fort but left it virgin and chose to build multiple pavilions around the fort to escalate public activity in the area. The project included design of four small pavilions to cater different groups and activities in the area, like nature cycling, bird watching, tourism and community activities of the local residents. The four pavilions were placed strategically to generate different routes and movement patterns in and around the fort. Thus the whole idea dealt with rejuvenating the fort and the village around by increasing touristic activities and accelerating inflow of revenue for the government without actually modifying the historical landmark.

CAN WE? MAKE MORE THAN A CINEMA BerliN aedes, GerMaNy
We reinterpreted the brief to include a film school. This educational approach to arthouse cinema encourages interaction between cinema and the community. The film school hosts various functions including workshops, screenings and film-making
The urban strategy consists of a bowl shaped public space which opens to the street. This bowl is intersected by an axis that links the existing parks behind the site to the Wedding S-bahn station.
The project aimed at developing two layers: public at ground floor level and film related functions lifted above. An open and welcoming public space provides a new social platform for the community. This public space was created by scooping out the existing ground terrain. There are diverse spaces for multiple activities e.g. outdoor markets, film making, large public events including sports event screenings and concerts, surfaces for skaters, retail functions related to cinema, café terrace and more.

Mira BhyaNder, iNdia
The project aimed to provide a strong infrastructure setup in the region of Mira Bhyander, situated in the periphery of expanding the mega metropolitan Mumbai city. The entire region was studied in detail in Urban design studio under four main headings titled: Land-use, Historical Development, Land ownership and Economy. This Urban study lead to selection of nine potential sites which lacked basic amenities and infra-structure, which were further researched and analyses in detail to derive to a problem statement.
With this departure point each of us chose one potential site, critically analyzed the problem statement and derived to a programme state-ment that empowers the existing community by providing essential infrastructure facilities.
Kashimira , the chosen site for my project is a small poor community living in slum lacking basic amenities like health facilities, workshops, com-munity spaces etc. Thus the whole design dealt with providing infrastructure facilities like hospital, training centers, workshops, local retail cen-ters, community spaces and recreational areas. The basic design concept dealt with developing a grid of 5x10m, which was laid on the site and Corrugated modular boxes were used as design elements which allowed flexible growth and also allowed future Expansion. These boxes were laid in different permutations and combinations depending on the programme requirement.

The project aimed at providing mass housing for the slum dwellers of Asia’s biggest slum developmnet, Dharavi, Mumbai under the Slum Rehabilitation Scheme. The project also laid a counter proposal to the sectorial development of Dharavi by profit & market oriented architect Mr. Mukesh Mehta.
The entire slum establishment along with the small scale industries was mapped and surveyed in detail in all aspects as part of Urban Design Studio. A comprehensive report was formulated and a Master plan for redevelopment of Dharavi was formulated in group and then each student chose a site to propose a design intervention. The Challenge lay in accommodating the inconceivably high density while creating a community sensitive housing design, taking into consideration also the existing work and community patterns.

The Trascultural studies IN:CH was a six month long exchange program between Mumbai and Bern University, and focused on intense research and analysis of the different aspects that affect the housing typologies in modern cities both in India and Switzerland. Four different cities and twenty five different sites were studied and analyzed under different parameters. The entire study was divided into five segments, where the initial three tiers focused solely on analysis and the final two tiers dealt with designing and proposing an ideal Housing solution in both the countries.
The exchange program was an initiative to enlarge the definitions of sustainability, focusing in the field of architecture and urbanism, in our contemporary interconnected global society. The project planning strategy is hybridized through the manipulation of the compiled analyses, personal experience and through cooperation between students of both the universities, supervised by experts from Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Bangalore and Switzerland.

A minimum structural grid of 3mx3m is provid-ed, facilitating flexible but systematic growth.
Extensions on vertical axis canot be carried out until all the grids on the hori-zontal grids are built
There are zones where the windows can be created, the renter decides depending number and location of openings
20% of the commer-cial grid needs to remain free. If more than one grid are rented, the renter decides to develop the services and access points differ-ently
tRAnScUltURAl StUDieS in:ch 08 EXCHANGE PROGRAMME _ TIER IV _ PROTOTYPE DESIGN JayaNaGar, BaNGlore, iNdia
The study was the Third & Fourth tier of the Exchange Pro-gram which was accompanied with a two month long Design Studio. Jayanagar is the first of post independence planned residential areas of Bangalore dating back to late 50‘s and has a substantial population of long term, mostly Kannada speaking residents with established families. Due to sudden boom in IT industry and new metro train proposal, Jayanagar is undergoing a substantial amount of transfor-mation. Hence the design had to generate an opportunity for development of ‘Mixed use module’ and set guidelines for its ‘Flexible Commercial and Residential Growth and Ex-pansion’. The proposal formulated a 3m*3m grid design on a prototype site and accommodated commercial and resi-dential usage. It also defines certain parameters to systemize expansion and simultaneously control exponential growth.

The study was the Final Tier of the Exchange Pro-gram which was accompanied with a two month long Design Studio. Adelboden is a mountain village, that lies in the Bernese Oberland in 1350 above sea level, with appro 3‘741 inhabitants and has an economy persisting on Seasonal Tourism. Adelboden is in the process of revitalizing its tourism and developing into a sports and wellness village. Hence the Design had to develop a module which is dual in nature and caters to the Native and Tour-ist population. It also had to take into consideration the extreme site conditions like steep slope, heavy snow fall, climatization, etc. The design was an ac-cumulation of different housing modules compris-ing of studio spaces, apartments for native residents and summer-winter tourist apartments

Büro-Aufstockung einer GewerbehalleFrei Fördertechnik AG, Rubigen
Baubewilligung Januar 2009Bauzeit April - Juni 2009Kosten 1.25 Mio.Bauherr / ReferenzpersonHerr Collin Frei 031 720 56 56
Das ProjektAls ständig wachsendes Unternehmen brauchte die Frei Fördertechnik AG zusätzliche Büroräume für Ihre sog. Konstrukteuren-Abteilung.
Die wichtigsten Forderungen der Bauherrschaft waren eine möglichst kurze Bauzeit und die geringste Beeinträchtigung des laufenden Betriebes während der Bauphase.
Die Aufstockung sitzt auf dem Dach der Blechverarbeitungshalle die damals statisch bereits zu diesem Zweck vordimensioniert wurde. Die modulare Konstruktionsart besteht aus Holzrahmen ausgefacht mit vorfabrizierten Holzelementen - dies ermöglichte die Aufrichtung des gesamten Volumens innert einer Woche.
Als Anspielung an eines der meistverwendeten Materialien der FF AG wurde die Hülle (Dach und Fassaden) mit EPDM eingepackt. Die Nordostfassade zur Bahnlinie ist mit einem markanten Bandfenster eingeschnitten, das nachts mit einer LED-Beleuchtung das Bild der Förderbänder andeutet.
Die Anbindung an die bestehende Anlage erfolgt über eine Stahlpasserelle, im passenden industriellen Stil und als Eigenleistung der FF AG ausgeführt.
